Microprocessor Doubts: Time Multiplexed & Machine Cycle

i have gone through a paragraph in my microprocessor book under the title signal description in 8086 in which i didn't understand some of the terms:

time multiplexed
machine cycle

plz help me by explaining these terms to me

    Combination of multiple signals into one is called multiplexing... Each data input is assembled at collector end based on factor of timing which is called Time multiplexing or TDM.

    In your case; everytime 8086 executes the instruction; the cycle is followed.There are series of consecutive steps been performed inorder to perform a single instruction ... when this series of instruction is performed ,it is called machine cycle.
    Executing, Fetching, Decoding & Storing are sub sub-divisions of machine cycle.
